Chapter 25: Ruthless Interrogation

“Hmm... Where am I?” Chang Yu realized he had suddenly arrived in an unfamiliar place.

“This is my home,” replied the woman in the cheongsam instinctively.

“Your home... How did I end up in your house?” Chang Yu instinctively crossed his arms over his chest, feeling shy.

He was still young, had never been in a relationship before. Now, alone in a room with this beautiful woman, if word got out, how would he face anyone? What if those lovely girls heard about this—would they think he was indecent?

“I remember you!” Like discovering a new continent, the cheongsam beauty suddenly exclaimed. “You’re that brat who wanted to curry favor with Director Zhao. How did you get in here? What are the security guards doing?”

Perhaps sensing no menace from the man before her, the cheongsam beauty grew bolder, speaking with an air of command.

Chang Yu, now that his identity had been exposed, began to scrutinize her closely. He realized she was the same woman who always trailed after Zhao Dasheng like a loyal companion.

“So it’s you, the fake innocent,” Chang Yu still harbored resentment from the last humiliation and didn’t bother to be polite.

“What? How dare you slander me! Who do you think you are, calling me that?” The cheongsam beauty, feeling provoked, shouted back with a feisty attitude.

“Do you believe I’ll call security to throw you out? I could even accuse you of burglary—you’d be in for a hard time in prison! According to our laws, burglary gets you at least three years.”

“If you don’t want to go to jail, get down on your knees and call me your Queen, and while you’re at it, beg and cry for mercy. Maybe then I’ll let you go!”

Ha! Such words weren’t particularly harmful, but the insult was severe!

Chang Yu was so furious that veins bulged on his forehead. Never in his life had anyone demanded he kneel. Did she think he was one of those who sold their dignity just to keep their jobs?

He’d long disliked this woman who bullied others by relying on her connections. Now, he decided to teach her a lesson she’d never forget—a lesson to last a lifetime.

“Have you really figured out your situation, you foolish woman?” Chang Yu shook his arms and adopted the stance of a gangster in a suit.

“You’re calling me foolish?” The cheongsam beauty was momentarily speechless.

“A clever woman would never anger a man she’s alone with when she’s at a disadvantage,” Chang Yu slowly approached her, his expression twisted. “Because she knows, in such circumstances, she’s the only one who’ll get hurt.”

Only now did the woman realize her predicament was dangerous. She stammered, “You... you, what are you going to do?”

“Why don’t you guess what I might do to you?” Chang Yu wasn’t the least bit intimidated by her threats, taking step after step toward her.

“What else could I do, apart from what any man might do to a woman?”

“I warn you, don’t come any closer!” The cheongsam beauty could only scream hysterically.

Staring at her exquisite, beautiful face, Chang Yu felt the devil within him stirring. He reached out and lifted her chin with his finger, flashing a wicked smile.

“This face is truly beautiful. I’ve never seen a woman as lovely as you before.”

“I... I warn you not to do anything foolish. Forcing a woman is a crime!” The cheongsam beauty retreated several steps, trembling like a quail.

“Don’t flatter yourself!” Chang Yu sneered, raising his palm. “What I mean is, with such a pretty face, it’d be a pity not to slap it a few times!”

The cheongsam beauty was stunned: ???

She couldn’t hold her composure. “Wait, wait! Something’s not right here, isn’t it?”

“Shouldn’t you be saying, ‘Go ahead, scream! Even if you scream until your voice breaks, no one will come to save you’?”

With all the dramatic buildup, she’d mentally prepared herself for the worst, only for Chang Yu to say something entirely different.

Is he insane?

Chang Yu opened his mouth, not quite able to understand her peculiar preferences.

Did she think he was the kind of man who took advantage of women?

He felt this woman’s thinking was a bit twisted.

As a man of principle, he shouldn’t let himself be corrupted by such depravity.

But since it seemed to be her wish, he decided to oblige her. “What a strange fetish. Very well, I’ll grant it!”

And with that, he slapped her beautiful face hard, instantly reddening and swelling her cheeks.

As he struck her, Chang Yu muttered weakly, “Go ahead, scream! Even if you scream until your voice breaks, no one will come to save you!”

“Who said anything about that?” The cheongsam beauty was dumbfounded by the blow.

No matter how clever she considered herself, she simply couldn’t fathom Chang Yu’s bizarre logic.

At a time like this, was slapping really appropriate?

Shouldn’t something more romantic be happening?

“Isn’t this what you wanted? What else do you expect?” Chang Yu grew impatient at her protest.

The cheongsam beauty finally came to her senses, realizing she’d been played.

Anger surged, her face burning red. She shouted, “How dare you hit me! Do you know who I am?”

“My man is Zhao Dasheng! He could ruin your life in an instant, do you believe that?”

Chang Yu slapped her again, not holding back, repeating, “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!”

“You dare hit me? Are you aware of the Zhao Group? It’s the leading real estate company in H City!” she shrieked hysterically.

Ever since she’d been with Zhao Dasheng, no one had dared slap her. Wherever she went, people showed her respect.

But today, Chang Yu had humiliated her in the worst way—an utter disgrace!

Chang Yu didn’t care what was going through her mind; he swung his arm and kept slapping, declaring, “Zhao Group? Never heard of it. Never heard of it!”

“Well, you must have heard of Zhao Dasheng—the chairman!” The cheongsam beauty’s voice quivered with tears.

“Zhao Dasheng... He’s nothing! Not even fit to shine my shoes!” Mentioning Zhao Dasheng only made Chang Yu angrier, and he struck with renewed vigor.

“Keep boasting! You think you can compare to Director Zhao? Even the dirt off his shoes is more precious than you!” she protested.

“I’m not boasting! Eighteen generations of my ancestors walked the earth—how precious is that! Am I proud? Absolutely!” Chang Yu declared with bravado.

The cheongsam beauty was bewildered.

Could there really be people not born and raised on earth?

After more than a dozen slaps, Chang Yu felt the resentment in his heart vanish.

The only flaw was that, toward the end, the cheongsam beauty stopped screaming, which made it less satisfying—he felt there was a lack of excitement.

“Hey! Have you had enough slaps?” Chang Yu asked, looking at her swollen face.

“Yes, enough, please let me go! I can’t take it anymore!” The cheongsam beauty nodded like a pecking chick.

“That won’t do. You’ve humiliated me again and again. If I don’t teach you a proper lesson, I’ll never be rid of this anger,” Chang Yu said cheerfully.

“Then I’m willing to apologize. It was all my fault before,” the cheongsam beauty quickly surrendered, recognizing the wisdom in adapting.

“In that case... call me ‘Daddy,’ and I’ll let you go,” Chang Yu suddenly found amusement in the idea, watching her with interest.

“Are you even human? Please, I beg you, act like a decent person!” The cheongsam beauty’s face was full of despair.

“How am I not human?” Chang Yu was incensed by her words and delivered another flurry of slaps, leaving her staggering, barely able to stand.

“If you don’t call me Daddy today, you’ll have to take my surname!” Chang Yu raised his hand again.

Seeing that he was about to strike her once more, the cheongsam beauty couldn’t take it any longer. She wailed, “Stop, stop, don’t hit me!”

“I’ll call you! I’ll call you, isn’t that enough?”

“Daddy, Daddy! You’re my Daddy!”
